With recent advances in hemostasis, there has been an increased demand for clinical testing of patients with suspected bleeding and clotting disorders. There has also been an increase in the available testing that clinicians can order from the clinical laboratory. Unfortunately, to complicate matters further, some of the tests sound very much alike but test for very different conditions. Which test is indicated for what condition is not always clear, and can lead to erroneous testing with complicating results. A basic understanding of the hemostasis mechanism and the specific target of the test is imperative for correct test selection.
随着止血技术的最新进展，对疑似出血和凝血障碍患者进行临床检测的需求不断增加。临床医生可从临床实验室订购的可用检测项目也有所增加。不幸的是，更复杂的是，有些检测听起来非常相似，但检测的却是截然不同的病症。对于何种病症应进行何种检测并不总是明确的，这可能导致错误的检测并产生复杂的结果。对止血机制和检测的特定靶点有基本的了解对于正确选择检测至关重要。
